Clyde Simpson shares his powerful insights on spiritual growth and development, offering a clear roadmap for Christians to move from spiritual infancy to full maturity through proper understanding of Scripture.• The vast majority (99%) of Christians never progress beyond spiritual infancy due to lack of proper teaching• Romans provides the foundational doctrine for Christian growth, with Corinthians offering reproof and Galatians providing correction• Understanding which books of the Bible were written specifically to Gentile believers versus Jewish believers provides crucial context• The growth process follows three steps: understanding God's love (Romans 1-9), responding to that love (Romans 10), and being transformed (Romans 12)• Christians often take Scripture out of context because they're taught to jump between different passages without understanding their purpose• Spiritual growth happens automatically when believers plant the Word in their hearts and renew their minds• Christ's sacrifice addresses wholeness in all three dimensions: spiritual, mental, and physical• Moving beyond spiritual infancy requires a clear understanding of doctrine before advancing to deeper teachingsFind Clyde Simpson's books, including "Spiritual Growth and Development from Babe to Full Maturity" and "Christian Leadership: Honor, Reverence and Respect for God in His Word" on Amazon or at ClydeSimpsonBooks.com.Support the showDON'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EMERGENCY, PLUS, SAVE 15%: https://www.twc.health/elsa#ifounditonamazon https://a.co/ekT4dNOTRY AUDIBLE PLUS: https://amzn.to/3vb6Rw3Elsa's Books: https://www.amazon.com/~/e/B01E1VFRFQDesign Like A Pro: https://canva.7eqqol.net/xg6Nv...

Many young people measure their Christianity by boxes checked and rules kept. In this episode, Bobby Bosler challenges that mindset with the words of Jesus: “But I say unto you.” Victory in the Christian life is not about religion or outward conformity, but about walking with the living Christ in daily dependence and surrender.Topics DiscussedWhat it really means to be “more than a conqueror” in ChristThe danger of checklist Christianity and outward conformityHow Jesus corrected shallow interpretations of God's lawThe difference between religion and relationshipListening to the Spirit's voice in daily lifeYielding to Christ in practical moments (family, ministry, soul winning)Key TakeawaysJesus didn't save you to lose—He saved you to live as a conqueror through His power.A checklist mentality leads to dead religion; true Christianity flows from relationship with Christ.Obedience is not about outward compliance but inward surrender to Jesus.The Spirit of God actively corrects, leads, and guides believers—if we are listening.Dependence on Jesus enables victory in habits, prayer, soul winning, and God's will.Additional ResourcesThee Generation Youth Summit — Learn more and register early for this year's conference.Upside Down Kingdom Series — Read Bobby's articles on the Sermon on the Mount (with audio read-along available).Fellowship Baptist Church Podcast — Weekly sermons from the pulpit of Fellowship Baptist Church in Fairmont, WV.

In this second episode of our four-week series on the Book of Ruth, Pastor Karl explores the theme of God's providence as seen in Ruth Chapter 2. He delves into the distinction between God's miracles and His providence, emphasizing how God supernaturally orchestrates the natural events of our lives for the good of those who love Him. Through the story of Ruth, a Moabite widow, and her mother-in-law Naomi, Pastor Karl illustrates how God's providence brings blessing to those who trust and obey Him, even in the face of hardship. The episode introduces Boaz, a wealthy and godly man who foreshadows Jesus as a kinsman-redeemer, and highlights Ruth's faith, humility, and diligence as she gleans in Boaz's fields. Pastor Karl unpacks the biblical principles of generosity, trust, and staying faithful to God's promises, showing how God's unseen hand works to redeem and restore broken lives. Join us as we see how Ruth's story of providence and redemption unfolds, offering timeless lessons for living with confidence and momentum in God's plan.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this bold and timely message from the Summer of Change series, Pastor Ken Senchal challenges the way many of us view the Church. Too often, we approach church like a spiritual buffet—focused on what we can get, not what we're called to give. But the Church isn't a place we attend; it's a Body we belong to, and a family we serve.
In this video, we continue our study through Hebrews chapters 11 and 12, focusing on enduring hardship, understanding chastening, and growing in maturity as believers. We examine what it means to run the race with patience, how the Bible defines chastening, and whether it is correction or punishment. The discussion also touches on church hurt, fellowship challenges, and how personal experiences shape spiritual growth. Throughout, we reflect on the example of Christ, the importance of pressing forward in the faith, and how believers respond when confronted with trials, conviction, or sin. Everything is weighed directly against the Bible.
Jim Osman unpacks 2 Peter 1:10-11 in this sermon on making election sure. He exhorts believers to pursue spiritual diligence by cultivating Christian virtues, thereby confirming their calling and election. Making election sure offers assurance of salvation, steadiness in faith, and a confident entrance into Christ's eternal kingdom. Osman's message clarifies that assurance is both possible and desirable for Christians who walk in holiness and trust in Christ alone. ★ Support this podcast ★

Jim Osman teaches that applying all diligence is essential for Christian growth. Believers must cultivate virtues such as moral excellence, knowledge, self-control, and love. By using all diligence, Christians respond to God's grace earnestly, avoiding legalism and complacency. Osman underscores that this pursuit is not about earning salvation but working it out through sanctification, grounded in faith and empowered by God's provision. ★ Support this podcast ★
